The blanks are loaded and unloaded by belt conveyors (not part of the scope of supply).During the passing through the spray chamber the blanks are fixed and transported by conveyor belts and oiled according to specified set-ting. The lubrication patterns are set and controlled by a PC or the operating unit of the overall plant.Oiling takes place in a chamber closed except for the inlet and outlet opening. Two adjustable spray nozz-le bars (one each top and bottom) with 41 switchable spray nozzles guarantee a uniform and reproducible spraying result. When thick and higly viscous oils are used, the medium can be heated by the heating in the oil supply bar.The oil supply is from casks. By means of a suction lance and an air operated diaphragm pump the mediumis delivered into the storage tub in the spray chamber. Out of there the medium is pumped by an air operated piston pump through pressure tanks to the spray nozzles.Different lubricant pressures and spray air pressures can be applied to the spray nozzles. In this way the appli-cation quantity and degree of atomization can be influenced.The surplus of oil mist is kept back in the spray chamber by an oil mist separator and separated in a filter. Sur-plus of oil from the walls of the spray chamber runs back into a collecting tank.For maintenance and repair purposes the spray chamber can be driven out of the press working line with a pneumatic drive on standstill of the overall plant.The different stations of the plant and their functions are discussed briefly below. The processes are described with commissioning.The transport of the blanks is ensured by conveyorbelts (1) with round belts (2). The conveyor belts areattached in distances of 100 mm (cross to transportdirection).05-0013 455 6The conveyor belts are driven by a gear motor whichactuates a central drive shaft (3). For every belt adriving wheel (4) is seated on the shaftThe lubrication on both sides occurs by the upper andlower spray nozzle bar (5). The distance to the sprayplane is fixed. Each spray nozzle bar has 41 switchablespray nozzles (6).05-00105-001The oil supply of the spray unit happens by an air ope-rated diaphragm pump (7) and a suction lance (8) from casks into the storage tub (9) in the base frame. Filling by machine-control automatically.t.1110The upper and lower spray bar are supplied with oil by pressure tanks (10) and (11). The pressure tanks are filled from the storage tub (9) with an air operated piston pump (12) through the double filter (13).For further information see the pneumatic plan in chap-ter 9.The pressure tanks are admitted with compressed air.The air pressure is controlled by the pressure re-ducer (14) and (15). By changing the pressure the applicated oil quantity is appointed. The pressure can be controled and adjusted manually.05-00133The spray air supply (main air) consists essentially of the electrical starting valve (30), the pressure control valve (31) and the pressure switch (32).The units named above are mounted twice to supply the top and bottom spray nozzle bar.The spray air pressure is controlled by the pressure control valves (33) and (34). The setting is manually (basic setting factory preset).The higher the spray air pressure while spraying, the bigger the deve-lopment of oil mist!! This can result in an emission of oil mist out of the spray unit!An increase of oil mist means that the filters of the oil mist seperatorsclog and have to be changed !!05-001OIL PRESSURETOPOIL PRESSUREBOTTOMSPRAY AIR PRESSUREBOTTOM SPRAY AIR PRESSURETOP The function of the valve group (35) is shown in the pneumatic plan in chapter 9.05-001The pressure controller (40) presets the air pressure for the piston pump (41).The pressure is set by the manufacturer and should not be changed.The pressure controller (42) presets the air pressure for the diaphragm pump (7) for the storage tub filling. The pressure is set by the manufacturer and should not be changed.05-00149The pressure control-ler (44) presets the airpressure for the pneumatic motor (45) of the drive unit. The pressure is set by the manufacturer and must not be changed , because this would also change the driving velocity.Actuating one of the twomanual valves (46) starts the driving movement.The parking position is fixed by a bolt (48). The position of the bolt is monitored by limit switches (49).05-001The oil mist is extracted from the chamber by two filter plants (50) through pipes (51). The air outlet is loca-ted at the top of the filter plant. Filters can be changed through the lateral maintenance doors (53).In maintenance work please observe the enclosed operating instructions in chapter 10.The condition of the filters can be assessed from the differential pressure before and after the multistage filter. Differential pressure meters (55) transmit permanently the contamination level of the two endfil-ter stages to the control system.Corresponding warning messages are indicated at the control display.The spray nozzles can be tested in a hand operated mode. This may happen for a single or for a group of nozzles. This occures with a key switch loated on the chamber. Corresponding to the chosen menu on the cont-rol panel a single or a group of nozzles can be selected.05-00105-001Automatic modeThe automatic mode is activated by the control system of the total plant.The spray process is activated by sensors (85) of the blank detection.Standstill of the spray chamberMaintenance, cleaning and repair work:Special care must be taken here that the electrical off switch on the control cabinet of the total plant is switched off and secured by a lock against unauthorized switching on.( See section 2.5, Safety devices )3.3 Operating modes05-0014.
